NEW Entrance at California Adventure

Last week at Disney’s California Adventure, NOT only did the NEW Cars Land open, but the NEW Entrance of the park opened as well.
The new entrance resembles Buena Vista Street in the 1920s when Walt Disney moved to California. It features the replica of the Carthay Circle Theater. In the theater, there’s a lounge and restaurant on the first floor and they have Club 1901 on the second floor.
There’s also the ticket entrance that was designed after the ticket entrance of Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Florida.
We will upload the photos as soon as we can.
Check back for more information about the Carthay Circle Theater.

Cars Land-NOW OPEN!!!!

Today at Disney’s California Adventure, Cars Land is now open. The land is based on the Disney and Pixar’s Cars films. It contains a new Cars Test Track themed ride entitled Radiator Springs Racers. Everyone is asking “Does this ride include a Single Rider Line and a Fastpass Line?”  The answer is YES!!!!! See the NEW Cars Land this Summer.
In addition, the new entrance to the park is also open today. It resembles Buena Vista Street in the 1920s and 1930s!! It features a new club called Club 1901. Named after the year Walt Disney was born. It’s California Adventure’s version of Club 33!!
Please Note that the real Buena Vista Street is located in Burbank, California.

C.A.T. (Chris’s Attraction Trivia): Indiana Jones Adventure

Unlike the three different endings in Horizons at Epcot, Indiana Jones Adventure at Disneyland contains three different beginnings.
Once you enter your ride vehicle, your “journey” begins.
You head towards The Chamber of Destiny. It has three doors, in other words, three alternate paths.
The Yellow Path goes directly to The Treasure Room
The Purple Path gives you The Power to Seek the Future
And…
The Blue Path goes directly to The Fountain of Youth!!!!

Indiana Jones Adventure

Indiana Jones Adventure opened in 1995 inside Adventureland at Disneyland Park in California.
This attraction was created by George Lucas. The man behind Star Tours and Captain EO. 
The Guests are welcomed by Indy’s friend, Sallah.  The guests are transported inside The Temple of the Forbidden Eye to experience their own adventure seeking Indiana Jones and the lost tourists. Will they find Indy and escape the temple?
This is  still one of the most popular attractions in Disneyland’s history.
Check back later to discover the trivia of this attraction.
Here is a photo of the attraction’s sign/entrance.

Disney and ABC

In 1954, Walt Disney was selecting a major television network to air his first TV show entitled Walt Disney’s "Disneyland”!!
The network that Walt picked was ABC.  The Disneyland Show aired from 1954 to 1958!!
In 1955, The Mickey Mouse Club aired on ABC on October 3, 1955. Three to Four months after Disneyland Park in California opened!!!
Until the early 1960s, Walt wanted to air his shows in color, but ABC refused due to the prices of color broadcasting. So, Walt moved his colored shows to another network which was NBC!!!
Later in 1996, Michael Eisner, who was the CEO of Disney, purchased ABC and later owned America’s major sports cable channel, ESPN!!!!
